I have proven it. Everybody but the handful of flat earthers here can tell that I have provided ample support for all my assertions. It is obvious that you will dismiss them no matter what proof I offer.
Yes, and I have already done so. I have posted quotes from Fathers, from St. Bede, from St. Thomas Aquinas. I have demonstrated that virtually everything written against Galileo,etc was, in effect, support of traditional (spherical earth) geocentrism. There is no reason for me to post the same quotes and arguments over and over again for those who are determined to dismiss them.
You haven't proven anything of the kind. I've re-presented quotes over and over because sometimes, they don't sink in for some people. You made a claim above, so provide quotes in favor of spherical earth by Fathers and Saints, or don't make your claim. Extrapolating is all too common and since you're wont to do such, you'll have to defend your quote reasonably, and we'll see if it says what you claim. We've already determined as a group that up until now, no one has produced Catholic teachings that support earth is a globe. If we're wrong about that, prove it. The Galileo trial condemns heliocentrism but it doesn't support spheres of any kind. Even the Tychonian system didn't actually intend to teach about spherical bodies. As a contemporary scientist preceding the Galileo Affair, Tycho, having written this himself, it cannot be certain anyone at that time took the spherical earth seriously:
“There really are not any spheres in the heavens… Those of which have been devised by the experts to save the appearances
exist only in the imagination, for the purpose of enabling the mind to conceive the motion which the heavenly bodies trace in their course and, by the aid of geometry, to determine the motion numerically through the use of arithmetic.”
-Tycho Brahe, On the Most Recent Phenomena of the Aetherial World, 1588
